Chapter 359: Good and Evil Have the Same Origin

When the little Taoist priest surnamed Yang said the reason in a panic, Ye Yu pulled his body back.

Then he faced everyone, especially Yuyang Ziwang Chuyi: "Did you all hear it?" ”

“……”

A faint question made the seven sons of Quanzhen look embarrassed, this matter is not only the fault of the Quanzhen Sect in the first place, but also indiscriminately overwhelmed the public afterwards, and it can be said that it will be discredited in the future.

"I didn't intend to argue with you, but someone didn't know what to do and forced me step by step, which is a complaint!"

"This benefactor, although the original intention of this time is to seek the truth, but you put others in danger for your own selfishness, this is not a great good......

When the seven sons of Quanzhen were silent, the empty Zen master who had been watching suddenly opened his mouth.

The words of the empty Zen master made everyone present stunned, and the seven sons of Quan Zhen did not expect that the empty and silent Zen master, who was still fighting against him just now, would come forward to solve the siege this time.

And Wan Yan Yunzhong didn't expect that at this moment that could discredit the Quanzhen Sect, he was already of noble character if he didn't fall into the lower stone and add firewood, so why did he deliberately relieve the siege of the Quanzhen Sect?

In fact, when a monk has reached the realm of Zen Master Emptiness, there is no utilitarian view of things, although the theory of Buddhism and Taoism is on the opposite side of the Quanzhen Teaching, but this is only a distinction between academic and ideological pursuits.

Putting aside this dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, in fact, both sides are cultivators, and they can also be said to be people in the same path, and there is no personal grudge.

Therefore, at this time, the Zen Master of Empty Silence stood up to relieve the siege of the Quanzhen Sect.

When Ye Yu heard the words of the Zen Master of Empty Silence, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Oh? Dare to ask the master, what is good and what is evil? ”

"Amitabha, good and evil have cause and effect!"

"Cause and effect? Buddhism talks about the retribution of good and evil, and it is said that it follows you like a shadow. The situation in the world is often that someone is good, but the children and grandchildren are not prosperous. Someone is evil, but the court is prosperous. From this point of view, isn't the Buddha's talk about cause and effect too unfounded? ”

The Zen Master of Emptiness turned the Buddha beads and explained softly: "If all feelings are not cleansed, the right eyes are open." Recognizing good as evil refers to evil as good, and there are often cases. Why don't you hate yourself for reversing right and wrong, but complain about the bad retribution of heaven? ”

"Hahaha!" When Ye Yu heard this, he laughed heartily.

"Why is the donor laughing, does the old man say that the donor thinks it is inappropriate?"

What the master said is reasonable and Buddha-natured, but the master is obsessed with the distinction between good and evil, but he doesn't know that good and evil are originally in one thought. What should be done is good; What should not be done is evil. In fact, good and evil do not lie in the heart, but in the deeds! ”

"Good and evil are not in the heart, but in the deeds?"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and they used to say that cultivating the mind, whether it is a Buddha or a Tao, is to have a righteous heart from the source in order to achieve transcendence!

Abandoning the five poisons of greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, and suspicion is a must for a monk, and what is to be cultivated is the mind. So in everyone's subconscious, good and evil come from the heart!

Now Ye Yu said that good and evil do not lie in the heart but in the action, which undoubtedly subverts their original understanding.

"Amitabha, forgive the old man for being stupid and unable to understand the mystery in the donor'......"

"The monk's attention is to practice, and only by practicing can the mind be cultivated, and a single thought can give birth to all kinds of evil, and can also give birth to many good thoughts. Just like a master, if he has the idea of exhorting a certain person in his heart, if he expresses it in words and deeds and puts it into action, this is goodness; If it cannot be revealed only in the heart, it cannot be called good! ”

"On the contrary, the master has the idea of killing a certain person in his heart, and if he takes action when he is fierce, this is evil; If you keep this thought hidden, you can't call it evil! ”

"Thinking about a thousand times, how can you judge good and evil lightly? Everyone has good and evil sides, but good and evil are of the same origin, and they can really be argued because of the master's words? ”

Ye Yu's words were the Tao, which made everyone present shine, and no one thought that this young madman would be quite accomplished in Buddhism.

"This ...... I am selfless! ”

"The master is wrong again!"

The Zen Master of Empty Silence suddenly raised his slightly narrowed eyes and asked Ye Yu in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

"Buddha has selfishness!"

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

"Excuse me, Master, what is a Buddha?"

"Enlightenment is Buddha!" The four answers of the Zen Master of Emptiness are extremely concise, but they also directly reveal the origin of the Buddha.

"The Buddha is enlightened but not confused, and ordinary people are confused but not unconscious. The so-called: "lost beings", "enlightenment is Buddha". A Buddha is an enlightened person, and a person is an unenlightened Buddha. Master, is there a mistake in Yu's understanding? ”

Zen Master Empty Silence listened to Ye Yu's words and nodded appreciatively: "The little benefactor has a deep attainment in Buddhism, and the old man is clumsy!" ”

Things have developed to this point, and it is no longer a discussion of the rights and wrongs of Ye Yu's hijacking, but a debate between Buddhism. Master Empty Silence did not expect that one of his words of advice would be involved in an exploration of the Dharma.

He was surprised, but more of a delight. The so-called words are not clear, and the reason is not clear, and the same is true of scripture scholarship.

"Then Yu asked the master, since the Buddha is a person who is enlightened and not confused, then, how can people be selfless?"

"The Buddha comes from the heart, and since he is a person who is enlightened and not deluded, he will be selfless!"

"Oh? The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, so why use living things such as grains and wolves to help monks and other monks practice. Is this act of giving up a humble life to attain the right result of one's cultivation, and is it equal this time? Selfless? ”

"This ......"

Ye Yu's words are directly in his heart, the monk is vegetarian and does not touch meat, it seems that all living beings are equal and do not add killing precepts, but grains, green vegetables and radishes are also the source of life.

At this time, Wan Yan Changle, who had been an observer, saw that Ye Yu was able to argue, so he interjected unconvinced: "Nonsense, it is already miserable for monks not to eat meat, if they don't even eat grains, wouldn't they starve to death?" ”

"Hehe, what Her Royal Highness the Princess said is that the monk absorbs the life of all things and goes to practice to achieve positive results, isn't this selfish? This is the equality of all living beings that Buddhism emphasises? ”

"This ...... However, the Buddha cut meat and fed it to the eagle back then, which is enough to demonstrate selfless dedication......"

Although Wanyan Changle is not very proficient in Buddhism, Buddhism in the Jin Kingdom is prosperous, and he also knows a lot of allusions under the influence of this country.

As soon as Ye Yu heard the allusion of the Buddha cutting meat to feed the eagle, he immediately laughed: "That's what the Buddha owes to the eagle!" ”

"Nonsense! If you can't make a sense today, this palace will condemn you for blasphemy! ”

What Yu said naturally has its truth, when the Buddha cut meat to feed the eagle, it was indeed caused by debt! The eagle lives by preying on voles, and the voles live by stealing grains, and the Buddha does not eat meat, but he eats whole grains......"
